politics and religion  

Definition

  • Some of the most important global issues of today's world, such as Islamic terrorism, the threat of a potentially nuclear Iran, and the conflict between Hindus and Muslims in India, involve an interplay between politics and religion that one cannot afford to ignore. Politics have been a central aspect of most religions in the past and, despite predictions to the contrary, continue to be so today. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Religion; Politics and Religion]
